REPLICA WEGNER ELBOW CHAIR 

Solid Ash Walnut - Black CODE: HW-DC-W12-PU $229.00 (limited stock)

Danish designed in 1963, by Hans Wegner the Elbow Chair is both modern and traditional with an understated simplistic beauty that is truly timeless.  This simple and elegant chair embodies Wegner's ideology for minimalism.  It is light and open with clean lines, taking up little space around the dining table.

The low back also means that it makes an excellent desk chair.  The characteristic soft rounded backrest and bend enables a variety of seating positions.   It also allows for support of the arms (thereby gaining the name, "The Elbow Chair") which increases the comfort and the ability to sit in the chair for a long time.

This chair when designed was so way ahead of its time and manufacturing was so complicated that only a single prototype was ever made.  It was later reintroduced in 2005 and awarded the ICFF Editors’ Aware in New York.   

This is a Timeless Furniture Co Reproduction of the original design.

THE DESIGNER

Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007)

Hans Jorgensen Wegner at the age of 17 was apprenticed to a carpenter (H.F Stahlberg).  It was here he developed his first design before attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, now know as ‘The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’.

From 1938 to 1942, he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller´s architectural practice.  Throughout his long career, he has designed furniture extensively for Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen.

Hans J. Wegner is widely considered to be one of the leading figures in 20th century furniture design - and a driving force in the “Danish Modern” movement that changed the way people looked at furniture in the 1950s and 1960s.

The Royal Society of Arts, London made him an Honorary Royal Designers for Industry in 1959.

"He gave minimalism an organic and natural softness"
